| biography:
| Cartoonist, inventor, and animated film producer, born in Vienna, Austria. He was taken to New York City at the age of four. He developed the rotoscope (1917), a device still used for transferring live action film into animated cartoon via tracing. With his brother Dave (1894–1979) he produced many Out Of The Inkwell films, which combined live action with animation. The brothers also created the ‘bouncing-ball’ sing along cartoons, silent but synchronized to the cinema orchestras. Having made the first experimental sound-on-film cartoons in the mid-1920s, Max went on to produce the Betty Boop Talkartoons (1930) and his best-remembered series, Popeye the Sailor (1933) from the strips by E C Segar, followed by the feature-length cartoons, Gulliver's Travels (1939) and Mr Bug Goes to Town (1941). |
